White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders mocked former President Obama after he tried taking credit for the current booming economy, saying his comments were “laughable.”

Yes, the man who blamed George W. Bush for economic woes during his eight years in office is now trying to take credit for an uptick in the economy after being out of office for nearly a year.

Obama touts his economic record: 'Thanks, Obama' https://t.co/ENJSGc6vTT BO is insane: Doubled the national debt; gave US a credit hit; saw more foreclosures than ever in history; gave Iran 1.7 BILLION in cash & apologized his skinny hind-end off for US. NOPE!! No thanks!!!!!

“As we took these actions, we saw the US economy grow consistently,” Obama claimed. “We saw the longest streak of job creation in American history by far. A streak that still continues, by the way.”

“Thanks, Obama,” he added.

Essentially, nothing bad that happened during his administration was his fault, while everything good that happens when he’s not in office is due to him. This man has an insanely loose grip on reality.

Sanders, fortunately, was right there to smack him back to reality, taking to social media to mock Obama’s delusional claims.

Can't make it up: Obama now wants credit for the booming Trump economy. At least we can all agree the economy is better under President Trump.

I'm old enough to remember when President Trump's election was going to "crash the market." One year later: market up over 30%, two million new jobs & 1,000 new manufacturing jobs created every day just last month…and now Obama wants credit for the booming Trump economy.

Sanders reminded certain groups of people that Obama had claimed to be a champion of, that they’re already doing so much better in the Trump economy than they did in the previous eight years.

"Donald Trump's relentless focus on tax cuts, deregulation and draining the swamp is great for job growth… with minorities, women, men and even those with low incomes, showing the best gains" https://t.co/DpvWtKlCY6

Since the election "the jobless rate for African Americans dropped from 8% to 7.3%, while for Hispanics it fell from 5.7% to 4.7%…and with Trump's big tax cuts on the way, job growth isn't likely to end soon -more good news for all Americans." -Investor's Business Daily

Sanders wasn’t content in blasting Obama on Twitter. She appeared on Fox News to say “I think it’s laughable that President Obama thinks he has anything to do with the success of where the economy is right now.”

She then explained that job creation and economic growth are taking off under Trump because of Trump and nobody else.

“There’s a reason that it continues to go up, and it started when President Trump was elected and when he got into office,” Sanders said. “It had nothing to do with President Obama, and I think everybody knows it, including President Obama. And I think it’s pretty laughable that he’s trying to take credit for it.”

To be fair, ‘laughable’ is probably the most descriptive word for Obama’s entire tenure in office.

Meanwhile, it took a determined President Trump to reverse job-killing regulations and unleash the economy, something unseen the previous eight years.

Former San Francisco 49er’s quarterback Colin Kaepernick is on the short list to receive Time’s Person of the Year award, the magazine confirmed Monday.

Time’s shortlist consists of ten people editors will choose from to designate as 2017’s Person of the Year. Kaepernick is famous for his kneeling in protest to police brutality during the National Anthem, is a potential candidate for activism.

“The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback was unable to find an NFL suitor this year after launching a national protest against racism and police brutality by kneeling during the national anthem. Yet the protest grew this year, as hundreds of NFL players kneeled during the anthem in the wake of criticism from President Trump,” the magazine noted.

Kaepernick began kneeling in 2016 to speak out against police brutality and an American society that he believes oppresses minorities. Other National Football League players began participating as well after President Donald Trump called on the league to fire the players who knelt.

Dana Nessel, a Michigan Democrat who raised eyebrows with a political ad that asked voters to choose “the candidate who doesn’t have a penis,” once defended a Detroit strip club that employed a 15-year-old girl as a dancer.

In her latest ad, Nessel sits in front of a fireplace and woos voters with her most important argument – her belief that she can’t commit sexual misconduct because she’s not a man.

“When you’re choosing Michigan’s next attorney general, ask yourself this: Who can you trust most not to show you their penis in a professional setting?” she says.

Nessel is running to be Michigan’s next Attorney General. And her biggest selling point is the lack of a penis. Surely she has some sort of record to run on, no?

Well, actually she does.

Nessel, who views herself as the anti-sexual harassment candidate, once defended a Detroit strip club that had hired an underage dancer.

She defended Club Onyx despite evidence they’d exploited the 15-year-old girl in hiring her to perform for their audience. Nessel, rather than have club owners charged, suggested police give “lectures” to the staff about how to run a 21-and-up strip club.

“We requested members of the police department to come in and give lectures (to club staff),” Nessel said. “It’s a legitimate business, and they are trying to work within the balance of the law. They don’t want to cause havoc in the community.”

The girl had been arrested months earlier for performing at another club. The legal age to perform at that time in Michigan had been 18.

“I will not sexually harass my staff and I won’t tolerate it in your workplace either,” Nessel says in her new ad. “I won’t walk around in a half-open bathrobe, and I’ll continue to take all sex crimes seriously, just like I did as a prosecutor.”

The foot-stomping brass at CNN announced that they would boycott the White House Christmas Party, a direct response to President Trump’s continuing attacks on the network as ‘fake news.’

“CNN will not be attending this year’s White House Christmas party,” a spokesperson announced. “In light of the President’s continued attacks on freedom of the press and CNN, we do not feel it is appropriate to celebrate with him as his invited guests.”

They aren’t attacks on freedom of the press, they’re attacks on shoddy journalism in which CNN has cornered the market. The only people unaware of that distinction work … at CNN.

House minority leader Nancy Pelosi called for Democratic Rep. John Conyers of Michigan to resign Thursday amid multiple allegations of sexual misconduct.

Pelosi has been facing pressure from a number of her Democratic colleagues calling for Conyers to resign and defended Conyers from the harassment allegations on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday. She called the representative an “icon.”

“I don’t know who they are,” Pelosi said Sunday when asked by the host whether she believed the women. “Do you? They have not really come forward.”

Pelosi changed her tone Monday and said she believed Conyers accusers after speaking to one of them privately and finally called for the Michigan congressman to resign Thursday.

At least five women have accused Conyers of a sexually harassing them while they worked for him.

One accuser said that Conyers summoned her into his office while he was only wearing underwear. Conyers has denied all accusations, but stepped down from his position on the House Judiciary Committee while an investigation into his behavior is going on.

Pelosi’s announcement comes the same day news broke that Conyers was placed in the hospital due to a stress related illness.

Melania Trump, in an interview with CNN during her and President Trump’s recent trip to Asia, said it’s an “honor” to serve as First Lady.

“It’s my honor to be a First Lady of the United States,” she declared. “And it was a very busy year and we love to live in Washington. We have a very busy life. It’s exciting as well. And I’m looking forward to work on behalf of the children.”

Michelle also recently complained that she had a tough time dealing with being First Lady because she had to endure racism.

“Knowing that after eight years of working really hard for this country, there are still people who won’t see me for what I am because of my skin color,” she said, was one of the worst parts about serving.

Just weeks removed from a horrific mass shooting in Texas that took the lives of 20 people, a church in New York is encouraging its congregation to bring their guns with them on Sundays.

The sign outside the Lighthouse Mexico Church of God in Oswego County, New York, reminds any would-be criminals that this is NOT a gun-free zone.

In fact, the pastor, Ronald Russell, has suggested parishioners bring their guns as a means of protection, explaining to critics that “times are changing.”

All too often, shootings take place outside or inside institutions which proudly declare to the world that they are a ‘gun-free zone.’ Such advertising gives a madman knowledge that he will not be fired upon by others in self-defense.

The Texas church shooter likely knew his victims were unarmed. The only thing that stopped him from killing more innocent people was a neighbor, who had to come running from his home barefoot upon hearing of the shooting with his own gun.

Mike Jordan, whose son was at the church, openly speculated that had he been carrying – which he usually does but opted not to bring his gun to church this day – even more lives could have been saved.

“A small town like this, you know, people go to church, they disarm, leave their guns in the car, because you don’t expect something like this to happen,” Jordan explained. “What if this was the day he didn’t leave that firearm at home? What if he did take it with him?”

The Lighthouse Mexico Church of God is putting that theory to the test, proudly boasting “we are not a gun free zone.”

They also offer parishioners lessons in self-defense and identifying suspicious behavior, letting the world know “we protect our people!”

A 100-year-old World War II veteran was able to rebuild his home after Hurricane Harvey leveled it, thanks to a community that rallied around him and a little assistance from retired Navy SEAL, Marcus Luttrell.

Lt. Bill Fly wanted to spend his 100th birthday inside the home he shared with his wife since 1972. She passed away just a few months prior to the devastation wrought by Harvey flattened the home.

In the midst of battle in a Vietnam bunker on New Year’s Eve in 1968, while rockets were dropping all around, two Marines made a promise to each other.

Should they survive the battle, they would reach out to each other every New Year’s Day.

For fifty years, Master Sgt. William H. Cox and his friend, First Sgt. James “Hollie” Hollingsworth, kept that promise.

When Hollingsworth passed away earlier this year, Cox kept one last promise for a friendship forged in combat five decades earlier.

President Trump recently issued a proclamation to honor veterans of the Vietnam War.

“Our veterans are a national treasure, and I thank them all for their service, sacrifice, and patriotism,” Trump said. “To each of you with me today, you are the heroes who fulfill your duty to our nation. And each of you, under the most difficult conditions, did what you had to do, and you did it well.”

Cox fulfilled one last duty bestowed upon him by his friend.

“There’s a bond between Marines that’s different from any other branch of service,” he said. “We’re like brothers.”

The Department of Justice (DOJ) asked the U.S. Supreme Court late Monday to lift an injunction barring enforcement of President Donald Trump’s proclamation on enhanced vetting, the third iteration of his ban on refugee and migrant entry.

The request places the president’s contentious immigration policy back before the justices, who have previously signaled a preference for avoiding the issue altogether.

The president issued the proclamation in late September when the second version of the travel ban expired after a 90-day enforcement period. Federal courts in Maryland and Hawaii issued orders forbidding enforcement of key provisions of the proclamation shortly after it was issued. Those orders were partially upheld by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, that concluded any national from six of the eight countries named in the order with a significant connection to the United States may still enter the country.

In the new filing at the high court, DOJ argues the proclamation was the result of consultation with cabinet officers and a deliberative inter-agency process, that identified eight countries failing to meet U.S. security mandates. The argument is meant to address allegations that the proclamation was animated by anti-Muslim bigotry. The filing reads:

The proclamation differs from the president’s prior executive orders both in process and substance. It is the product of a review process undertaken by multiple cabinet officers and government officials, none of whose motives has ever been questioned. And it is based on express findings of inadequacies in the information-sharing practices, identity-management protocols, and risk factors for certain countries, as well as a presidential determination that tailored entry restrictions will both protect the nation and encourage those countries to improve.

The department also argues the Hawaii court’s ruling relies in significant part on a 9th Circuit decision that was subsequently vacated by the Supreme Court in late October, and is therefore no longer precedential case law. The lower court injunctions are “vastly overbroad,” they argue.

The justices lifted lower court orders barring enforcement of a previous version of the travel ban in late June. Though arguments were scheduled for early October in that case, the expiration of the 90-day travel ban and 120-day ban on refugee resettlement led the court to conclude the case was “moot,” warranting dismissal.

North Korea is still outraged that President Donald Trump dared to insult “the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK,” North Korean state media reported Sunday.

The U.S. will regret “letting such a depraved and stupid guy occupy the Oval Office,” the Korean Central News Agency reported, citing the Minju Joson. The regime’s criticisms come on the heels of Trump’s speech in South Korea, during which he addressed Kim directly and called North Korea a “hell that no one deserves.” The president also tweeted at Kim, taking pot shots at his decidedly short stature and growing waistline.

Speaking in South Korea, Trump painted a bleak picture of life in North Korea, highlighting the North’s long history of atrocities and human rights violations. “North Korea is not the paradise your grandfather envisioned,” Trump said, speaking directly to Kim. “It is a hell that no person deserves.” The president accused Kim of committing crimes “against God and man.”

“It is a stark reality that the old and ailing U.S. is heading toward the hell,” the Rodong Sinmun, the newspaper of the ruling worker’s party, wrote in a separate article. “Trump must clearly understand that his rubbish is leading the U.S., to say nothing of himself, to irretrievable road to the hell.”

The rogue North Korean regime criticized Trump for “malignantly hurting the dignity of the supreme leadership” and insulting “the state and social system of the DPRK and the life of its people,” warning the president to keep his nose out of North Korean affairs. “Trump had better pay heed to the despicable plight of his country, the dark empire of evils under worldwide criticism, before poking his nose into others’ things,” the North stressed in its commentary.

“The Korean people will never fail to make him pay dearly for his blasphemy,” KCNA asserted.

North Korea’s latest tirade against Trump follows an earlier report in which the North claimed the president is “a hideous criminal sentenced to death by the Korean People.” The Rodong Sinmun also made this point Monday, stating: “The mentally deranged money-grabber dared point his finger at the sun. This has made him the criminal who is sentenced to death by the army and people of the DPRK.”

“Those who challenge the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK and its social system can never find their place to live under this sky,” North Korean state media wrote. “Rabid dog Trump will certainly be made to pay dearly for his hideous crime.”

While the rogue regime has been trashing Trump, it is not uncommon for North Korea to throw dirt at U.S. leaders. North Korea is an equal opportunity, non-partisan critic of U.S. presidents. The North called former President Barack Obama a “clown” and a “monkey,” and Pyongyang once described former President George W. Bush as a “hooligan” who looked like a “chicken soaked in the rain.”

North Korea also has a history of freaking out whenever anyone criticizes or threatens the “supreme leadership.”

When Arizona Sen. John McCain called Kim a “crazy fat kid,” Pyongyang lost it, threatening to rain down destruction on the U.S. North Korea did the same in response to a Wall Street Journal op-ed calling for regime change.
